Plum-Raspberry Jam
by RetroRuth | Dec 10, 2019 |

From Farm Journal, 1959

[cooked-sharing]
3 pounds ground prune plums
5 cups sugar
10 oz raspberries, fresh or frozen
1Put ripe, firm plums through a food processor using a medium blade.
2Combine plums and sugar in a 5 or 6 qt pan. Add raspberries and mix together.
3Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until thick, about 40 mins. Stir occasionally. Process according to modern directions from your jars or canner or freeze.
4Notes:
I make several variations of this recipe, depending on how much time I have. I often use a box of pectin with this, just use the directions on the box of pectin for when making plum jam. Also, when using pectin I don't grind the plums, I just pit them and cut them in half. I also add the raspberries at the very end of cooking rather than at the beginning for a fresher raspberry taste.
